Fast Forwarding Through the Lockout: NL Central Edition

DVR is joined by Will Sammon, Katie Woo, Rob Biertempfel, Sahadev Sharma and C. Trent Rosecrans to fast forward through the lockout and attempt to finish the offseason adjustments for each team in the NL Central. The Brewers quickly found a replacement for Avísail García by trading for Hunter Renfroe. Are more trades on the horizon for David Stearns once transactions can resume? The Cardinals added much needed rotation depth with Steven Matz, but is another arm a priority before the offseason is over? The Pirates still appear destined for a basement finish in the division, but can a few young starters emerge with a wide-open depth chart in Pittsburgh? Does the Cubs’ surprising addition of Marcus Stroman point to more signings via free agency? And will the Reds be able to leverage depth in their starting rotation to quietly make a run toward the playoffs in 2022?
